Privacy Policy

Introduction

Context Companion ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our Chrome extension.

Information We Collect

Data You Provide

• Conversation Data: When you use the "Collect Context" feature, we store your conversations with AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) including:
  • Your messages/prompts
  • AI responses
  • Conversation metadata (platform, timestamps, chat IDs)
• Shared Context: Any persistent context you choose to add that should be included in all conversations
• User Preferences: Settings such as profile selection (Personal/Work), toolbar visibility, and auto-recall preferences
• Feedback: Any feedback you submit through the extension's feedback feature

Data Collected Automatically

• Usage Data: We may collect information about how you interact with the extension (e.g., which features you use, how often you collect context)
• Technical Data: Browser type, extension version, error logs (for debugging purposes)

Authentication Data

If you sign in with OAuth (Google), we store:

• Your user ID (UUID)
• OAuth tokens (stored securely in Chrome's identity storage)
• Email address (if provided by OAuth provider)

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Provide Core Functionality: Store and retrieve your conversations, inject relevant context into AI conversations
• Improve the Service: Analyze usage patterns to improve features and fix bugs
• Support: Respond to your feedback and provide technical support
• Security: Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security issues

Data Storage

Local Storage

• Data is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage APIs (chrome.storage.local and chrome.storage.sync)
• This includes: user preferences, local user ID, cached authentication tokens

Backend Storage (If Using Remote Backend)

• If you configure a remote backend server, your conversation data is stored on that server
• You control where your backend is hosted (can be self-hosted or use our hosted service)
• Data stored includes: conversations, summaries, topics, categories, tags, manual context entries

Third-Party Services

• OAuth Providers (Google): We use Google OAuth for authentication. Google's privacy policy applies to authentication data.
• AI Services (Anthropic): We use Anthropic's Claude API for summarization and categorization. Your conversation data is sent to Anthropic for processing. See Anthropic's privacy policy for details.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your data only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: With third-party services necessary to operate the extension (e.g., Anthropic for AI processing, hosting providers for backend services)
• Legal Requirements: If required by law or to protect our rights
• With Your Consent: When you explicitly authorize sharing

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

• Access: View all your stored data through the extension's Privacy & Data tab
• Delete: Delete individual conversations or all your data at any time
• Export: Export your data in JSON format
• Opt-Out: Disable auto-collect, auto-recall, or any other features at any time
• Disconnect: Sign out and disconnect OAuth authentication

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data:

• Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS)
• Authentication tokens are stored securely using Chrome's identity API
• Backend servers use industry-standard security practices
• Regular security audits and updates

Children's Privacy

Context Companion is not intended for users under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
